    Re: slight —Larry Pieniazek
   (...) And you in turn would be mistaken to think I had done so. I've studied the whole bible (and read a fair bit elsewhence) not just that one particular OT book. It's just that Job sums up your god quite nicely for me. Most of the rest is smoke or (...) (22 years ago, 12-Jul-02, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
   
        Re: slight —David Koudys
     (...) Once again I have to reiterate--there are many knowledgable and well learned folks partaking in these debates. Thanks for the intriguing posts. I uphold a system in which Larry can believe what he chooses to believe, as I uphold a system in (...) (22 years ago, 12-Jul-02, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
   
        American intelligentsia and the American electorate (WAS Re: slight) —Scott Arthur
   (...) I admit it, I was not impressed with the implied link between rationality, "success", religion and creationism. However, over the weekend I read an item by Richard Dawkins from "Free Inquiry" (see: www.secularhumanism.org). This is the part (...) (22 years ago, 6-Aug-02, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

     (...) This is not a snipe(?). Am I not supporting his argument? I can't ever remember agreeing not to "participate in the same threads" as Larry. Further, I am pretty sure he has posted in the same threads as me – he is welcome to. (...) Are John's (...) (22 years ago, 6-Aug-02, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
    
         Re: American intelligentsia and the American electorate (WAS Re: slight) —Larry Pieniazek
     (...) Representative? Dunno. I doubt it. I sure hope not! Dominant? They seem to be. The Tennessee constitution, for example, purportedly bars atheists from holding public office. (URL) have not validated that source. (22 years ago, 6-Aug-02, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
   
        Re: American intelligentsia and the American electorate (WAS Re: slight) —Richard Marchetti
   (...) ::sigh:: Okay, I'll take the bait -- although I am almost sure to regret it somehow... Yes, I think Dawkins has it right. But I would make the only slightly more subtle point that true religious freedom also includes the right to believe in (...) (22 years ago, 6-Aug-02, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
